Yield Rate良品率

Yield rate is the proportion of produced units that meet quality requirements without requiring rework or scrapping, expressed as a percentage of total output and often split by process, line, shift, or product family. Quality reports, production dashboards, first-pass yield analyses, and continuous improvement reviews track it by process, shift, product, and defect category to guide corrective actions and verify the effect of process changes.

Where this term appears

In localization, yield rate appears in factory performance dashboards, quality management software, customer scorecards, and improvement reports. Translators encounter phrases like 'first-pass yield rate,' 'final yield rate,' and 'yield loss.' Consistent translation matters because management and customers compare yields across plants, and mixing it with 'efficiency' or 'productivity' can distort performance data.

Translation checks

A frequent error is translating yield rate as 'efficiency' or 'output rate,' which hides the quality dimension and can make scrap or rework losses invisible. Another mistake is failing to distinguish final yield from first-pass yield. If the translation merges these metrics, quality reports become misleading, and comparison across shifts or plants may point to the wrong improvement actions.

Keep the term aligned across your files

Check equipment names, units, safety instructions and interface labels against the source and approved references. Confirm any market-specific document requirements separately.

Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
